Synthetic chemical weed and feed

As of January of 2010, synthetic chemical “Weed and Feed” is on
the way out in Alberta. Why? Water soluble synthetic fertilizers
dissolve and frequently run off or leech into the environment. This
causes water plants to expand their presence to the point where they
use all the oxygen in the water, causing fish and other water organisms
to suffocate.One
landowner group prone to over fertilization and excessive use of
environmentally dangerous chemicals is urban lawn owners. In order
to relieve the environment of the impact caused by the chemicals
in weed and feed fertilizers, the Alberta government has legislated
an end to their use by 2010. Turffix Plus® keeps
your options open with an effective and environmentally
sensitive product.

as well! Weeds are efficient, effective species competitors, and
take over. Picture in your mind some abandoned neglected lawn you
may have seen...

Professional herbicide application

You could have a professional apply herbicide to your lawn.

Apply Turffix®, or ask your lawn care professional to apply it. Keep in mind the importance of watering a bit extra after a weed herbicide application - it will combat the plant stress. We have tested our product against commercial agricultural fertilizers and popular premium slow release fertilizers. We are introducing Turffix® because it out-performed the others in careful research testing which was conducted all across Alberta and British Columbia. However, for the do-it-yourself turf-master, there is a new environmentally approved option:
